Updates for SEPUP Modules
From time to time, we update our instructional materials based on reports
from teachers, unanticipated changes to equipment, or errors that
have been brought
to our attention.
When this happens, we post corrected versions on
our website as downloadable pdf files which can be opened and printed
with Adobe Acrobat Reader. These revisions are included in subsequent
editions of our materials.
Current updates:
Hazardous Materials Investigations: The Barrel Mystery
Investigating Energy from the Sun
Investigating Environmental Health Risks
Investigating Food Safety
Solutions and Pollution
Thresholds and Toxicology
Waste Disposal: Computers and the Environment

The last two Procedure steps and the Analysis questions are missing from p.

Investigating Energy from the Sun
Activity 3
Some teachers did not get results that were
consistent with those presented in the book, so we re-tested the window
films
and re-wrote several of the student questions to better address the
variety
of results
your students may find. While some students may clearly see evidence
for the existence of IR waves, we believe the new questions do a better
job of directing those students with other results towards this conclusion.

incomplete in its black
and white version on paper and on the transparency provided. (The

We received reports from teachers using
this module that the dilute iodine solution degrades over time.
The kit has been modified to include a concentrated iodine solution
to be
diluted by the teacher and we have revised the Materials and Advance
Preparation accordingly. Please contact Lab-Aids for ordering information.
